    I need to try a RY4! And think an EC Blend sample pack next too.

    I'd be embarrassed to show how many bottles of juice I have. And carts filled with unused samplings. Enjoying the ride big time. Cigarettes were never this fun lol.

    Tam, I do remember vividly. The rich dark greens of pines to contrast the Aspens white bark and way way yellow leaves!! There (CO) and Canada's maples tie for best fall colors in my book
    Yes that was a double "way"

    For me, I don't think there is much of a pattern. Well, a couple of "tobacco" flavors - 618 which is a local blend, "honey wood", which doesn't really taste much like tobacco, french vanilla tobacco (I tasted that before I fiund their regular french vanilla), holy grail ry4, kick ash tobacco blend - but the last two I didn't actually find until my seizures caused some flavor issues.

    I used to vape milk chocolate flavor, but I have not been able to taste chocolate in vape (I can still taste it in food). I have banana chocolate, but I vape that now for the banana - it tastes more "banana-y" than my banana cream. I also vape irish cream, and sometimes hazelnut, papa smurf, I'm growing very fond of apple fritter. Um, no bake cake amd mint chip ice cream, but they taste different to me now, and probably differently than most people would taste them.

    I have a couple of flavors that I liked in the shop, and for a few hours at a time, at most, for a few days, then didn't like them anymore.

    Is getting married tomorrow! Leaving for Memphis in a couple hours, about a 6 hour drive. I could not be more proud that he has found that person that brings out the best in him. I can only hope he can experience the love, fun, and happiness my wife and I have over the last 14 years. I truly think he has found that.

    I e-mailed Eric about the broken o-ring on one of my Davide Minis and if he would have replacements and he said he would send me a couple, he didnt have enough to list on the site. When my drip tip package came it had 4 of the small o-rings AND 4 of the gaskets that fit between the glass and the top cap that fall out every time you clean one. Definitely top notch service.

    spydre reacted to irwink in Kangertech Protank keeps dry vaping   
    If you're using a Protank make sure the coil assemblies you're using are genuine Kanger. Just like some other popular delivery devices there are generic versions of the coil assemblies all over the place generally at a little bit cheaper price.

    If you're using a vw device in vw mode to fire the Protank most if not all of these devices will automatically adjust the voltage to match any changes in the resistance of the coil. In vv mode that doesn't happen.

    But if someone's using a garbage generic coil then nothing's going to fix it short of re-coiling/re-wicking it. That opens up a whole lot of potential issues until you get good at it.

    Higher percentages of vg in your juice will tend to restrict wicking of the juice leading to dry and/or burnt tasting hits. The higher percentage vg, the worse the juice will tend to wick.

    If you are using genuine Kanger coils in your Protank with a decent apv using the same juice you've been using for while and still can't get it dialed in then I don't have a clue.

    I'm not the best person to ask about this because of a couple issues (you can check the history of threads I've started to see my issue), but I don't know how long you've been vaping, but the longer you are away from analogs, the more your tastebuds begin to heal. Sometimes what tastes good in the beginning, won't taste good later, and vice versa. HOWEVER, sometimes you find a flavor, or flavors, that you can't pull away from, they keep drawing you back in, or they are your comfort zone.

    There are a lot of things that I like food wise, that I don't like juice wise. But don't be afraid to experiment, either, occasionally, as your budget allows, get a sampler pack from a vendor of things that SOUND good - they may either be good or foul.

    If you think you are changing coils too often (and I'm not aware of tobacco or coffee flavors causing that), firstly, how often do you clean out your tanks, and secondly, you may want to start cleaning your coils if you think there is a problem, doing a hot water rinse, soaking them in vodka or everclear, letting them air dry. It could be you are just getting gunk built up on the coils, and they need cleaned more often than you are cleaning them. Then have back up coils that you can put in the tank while the other is air drying, and you can just rotate them until you are sure a coil has gone bad.

    I mean, when you say you are going through some coils, are you talking about gurgling, leaking, etc.?

    Well, for me, I could possibly see getting a couple of different APV's.....I was drooling over a Darwin last night, until I realized how much it cost.....

    BTW, Dayvape, how long have you been a member that you have over 2k posts?


    The flavor is what keeps me off analogs, that, and the knowledge of what I know NOW that is in analogs that was way more addictive than nicotine. BUT, well, if I couldn't get this....yeah, I might go back to analogs if I hadn't beaten the nic necessity yet.

    As was done unto me, I have done unto others. My extremely religious mother required me to attend every youth function at her church and they were mostly held in the basement lounge, smoke filled my the priest (anglican) and the various adults participating. Then whilst the adults were cleaning up and we were waiting for our various rides we kids could sneak our own cigs. Fortunately I've long since found Richard Dawkins et al. I was always exposed to other's smoke at school by teachers, at friend's houses at any community activity etc. So I never saw any reason to not continue the practice as it sure didn't hurt me any. I've never curbed smoking because of others children students bosses pets ever. Only have the draconian smoking laws in the USA slowed me down at all. Fortunately I decided to leave the US after the voters elected Dan Quayle VP. Now I live where I can smoke in bars restaurants anywhere except government buildings, and even there they have places where the workers smoke and welcome me to join them. So as far as vaping is concerned, I still do the same. But on a rather weird note, my cat Jazz, never was bothered by smoking, in fact he seemed rather interested in it. Vaping, on the other hand, he doesn't trust. He quickly backs up when he sees the vapour coming out of my mouth, Maybe it reminds him of a dragon or something, but when ever I grab my equipment, he keeps his distance. The other cats and dogs are totally oblivious. Oh yeah, to finish my rant, just when I find something that actually makes not smoking totally painless and works so well unlike the patch gum anti depressants etc. it looks like the government will continue to be draconian and try to take away something that actually works, and works so well. I have stopped spending my tourist money in Singapore because they outlawed ecigs and I informed the tourist ministry of that decision and I'm totally sure they don't give a damn!

    I had the same experience with the CE clearos. I highly recommend you try out a EVOD on your Spinner. I use it all day at work and never get a burnt taste. I usually use a 70/30 mix in my EVOD. I do realize that the EVOD uses the same coils as what you put in your KPT, however I can only comment on my experience which has yielded great results.

    On a side note, for people who think they MIGHT need an airflow collar for the KPT2 and did not get one with their KPT2, the collar from the Davide works, if you have one.

    Did you get a regular sized Davide or a mini version? If you got the mini version you'll see three holes around the base. Just put a tiny piece of tape over one of the holes or put your finger over one and take a draw. The tape is what I use and the draw is now better.

    If you got the regular Davide, did you get a collar/beauty ring with it? If so you can use that to tighten up the draw by screwing it on, screwing Davide in, then unscrewing the collar with the Davide on until the collar is flush up underneath the bottom of the Davide. That should tighten up the draw by restricting airflow to the tank.
